I don't care for MSN search.  I'd lik to change it to Google.  Can I change
the Registry Keys from

these:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search
"SearchAssistant"="http://ie.search.msn.com/{SUB_RFC1766}/srchasst/srchasst.htm"
"CustomizeSearch"="http://ie.search.msn.com/{SUB_RFC1766}/srchasst/srchcust.htm"

TO THESE:
"SearchAssistant"="http://www.google.com"
"CustomizeSearch"="http://www.google.com"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And then just delete THIS key:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\SafeSites]
"ie.search.msn.com"="http://ie.search.msn.com/*"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you.
